AgraFlora Organics International Inc () (OTCMKTS:AGFAF) revealed Thursday that the company's CBD-performance product line, HowlBrands, will feature prominently on the Canadian rugby club Toronto Wolfpack’s jerseys throughout the 2020 RLF Super League season.
In a statement, the company said the placement of the company’s HowlBrands’ line of CBD creams and sports supplements in Toronto Wolfpack’s home and away kits will mark the first time a CBD-product has been so prominently featured in professional sport.
